We awoke at 6.00am for the day ahead. We were exicted and a little bit nervous, we got our swimming costumes on and headed down for some breakfast. The guy who cooked our meals was very chirpy at 7.30am in the morning, he was very funny and we couldn't help but laugh at him. He asked steff how she liked her eggs and she said soft...she turned bright red as she didn't even realise what he had said...later when he served it he turned to steff and said "here is your breakfast...with soft eggs"..it was so funny. We then rushed to the pick-up point where the bus was going to pick us up. We were even more exicted at the thought of going through the rapids on a rubber dingy...yes we were going white water rafting. We stopped at a cabin where we had to sign a declaration saying in the case of death the next of kin could be informed this freaked Emily out. We then carried on twenty minutes up the road and we passed a strong flowing river..Steff and I became very nervous as neither of us had done it before...when we got there we were greeted by a guy with ginger dreadlocks, he was going to take us down rapids, we were gonna die!...he handed Steff and I wetsuits which were very tight and uncomfy..he asked us what size shoe we were and was shocked when i told him i was a size four, he had to route around for my size. I was panicking the helmet couldn't fit on my head and i kept stumbling, i was worrying..the guy came over and fixed it and told me everything would be fine! he had to go through safety tips and he said "in the event of you being thrown overboard do step 1...." me and steff looked at one another, what had we gotten ourselves into!?. We then climbed aboard...i was shaking like a leaf and managed to hit 3 people including Steff with my paddle!...we entered the water, it was really fun going through the rapids! and the trip turned out safe! the instructor was a nice guy. steff, however steff nearly was thrown overboard but she managed to hold on tightly!.

We then went to the Hot Springs to overcome Emily's fear of being in a public swimming pool..it was her first time in a swimming pool in over 3 years and she was not looking forward to it..on our walk up to the springs we saw a moose!...the Hot Springs were disappointing but we got in free due to the hostel so we decided to go anyway!...I don't think i'll ever go to a swimming pool again!...but i enjoyed the heat!...

Just now Emily is about to make tea! so if we don't blog in the next couples of days its due to her poisoning us!...haha
